Murdered out M3

-noob Introduction Socal-
What's going on guys, new to the board and brand(somewhat). I'm a service consultant at Mercedes Benz(ironic I know...) but I have a good friend who's the SM over at Shelly BMW and I happen to work next door. Basically gave me a smoking deal on pre-owned E92 M3 that I could not refuse so I picked one up at a good APR and even opted to purchase the 2yr BMW extended warranty. Been in the automotive game for 9yrs now and just had some questions about any "common" problems with these E92 M3's that I should lookout for or address to my advisor(want to take advantage of extended warranty). My vehicle info is in my sig and any additional info or feedback would be great, thanks...

i honestly don't think this car has any "common" problems. yes people have had issues but i don't think there are reoccurring ones

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

I know we miss the feel, smell and seeing the oil via a dip stick. Also topping up is a pain in the a$$ however, it is what it is and we need to accept it. Unless sometime in future the ///M engineers will give us back our dipstick

Something weird happened to me recently (and no it doesn't involve a magical dip stick appeared under the hood)  . Prior to me upgrading to the Evolve software, i was checking the oil level, it read 1/3 of liter low. After upgrading to the software, it is reading "full". Keep in mind, Evolve sends an upgraded factory software, 231E file, with all of their tuning. |

the only problem is the temptation to hit the damn //m button you have been warned.
